Need HTTP proxy support on the Google connectors.

Ford intends to switch authentication method to -> Workload Identity Federation (WIF) with token URL. Our CP4D runs behind a firewall that prevents internet access,

so the communication has to be done via Proxy and currently has a HTTP proxy, not HTTPS as provided by IBM. For this change more fields need to be set. Token URL been one of them,

but this goes to a https://login.Microsoft.com public domain. When we test the connection using the HTTP proxy, the error of unknown host login.Microsoft.com: Name or service not known happens.

And this is caused because the proxy server is not authenticating that particular URL. Currently there is no authentication via Proxy.
